Easy Maple-Candied Chocolate Bacon Recipe!

Maple Candied Chocolate Bacon.

Everything is better with bacon. At least almost every single thing that I have tried with bacon has been a homerun and while it tastes amazing wrapped around a filet mignon or topping a delicious deluxe burger, there is no denying that it is amazing all on its own.

As a Canadian, there are but a few things that we love with immense and patriotic spirit and those are maple syrup, coffee, chocolate and bacon. Do I dare say, we love bacon almost as much as we love our significant others, right? So I thought, what better way to embody and enjoy all 3 together?

Did you know that males and females equally agree that adding bacon to the Valentine’s Day menu will be a hit? And young lovers, millennials aged 18 to 35-years old, are the most likely (21%) to want to treat their partner to a meal featuring bacon. In fact, I know that Darasak and I are never disappointed when we add bacon to our meals whenever we cook together.

Well, my friends, I have come up with an incredibly easy and sinfully delicious recipe for ‘Maple-Candied Chocolate Bacon,’ oh yes friends, you read that right.

Best of all, it takes 5 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to cook and 10 minutes to garnish. These make the perfect hors d’oeuvres or after-dinner dessert. The bacon is slathered with real maple syrup and baked to form a divine candied crust. It doesn’t stop there! After it comes out of the oven– it will get a half dip into creamy chocolate. Serve it with espresso or coffee or if you’re feeling particularly fancy, enjoy it with dessert wine. It is the best of all worlds!

Take a rimmed baking sheet and wrap it with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack.

Mix your maple syrup and brown sugar in a bowl until fully combined.

Remove bacon from package and carefully place bacon into bowl and "toss" carefully.

Make sure that bacon slices are covered evenly.

Take your maple and brown sugar covered bacon and place in a single layer on rack.

Place tray in the center of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, give it a check and if it is browned, give it another 10 minutes. This will help give it a crispy, candied texture and avoid a softer chewier version.

Remove the bacon from oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Take bacon and proceed to dip into the baking sheet with pre-prepared chocolate.

You can use the excess chocolate, if any remains, as a chocolate bark. Simply break or chop a couple strips of bacon and sprinkle onto chocolate. Place in fridge, remove when hardened, break and enjoy.
